Anyone ever use a rotary like this?

http://www.makita.com/menu.php?pg=product_det&tag=PV7001C



I found a good deal on one and am contemplating picking one up. It does seem to have it's limits with a max of 1200 rpm, but it weighs only 4.4 lbs which is lighter than even a Fein. Other than the speed limit the only other drawback is the design, I'm not sure if the handle will provide more leverage and control, or less. Anyone have any insight?
 
Looks like the polishers that member Varoong uses (Iamwashmania I thinhk is his screen name). He loves them from I have read.

Yep it's the guy who runs the WAC detailing centre in Bangkok. He uses them and seems to like them. I imagine they could be good to learn on as you can look down the shaft to the pad, thus helping to keep it flat. Might be easier to use than a "true" rotary, especially on side panels.

well if u lock the trigger, then the rest is easier. I find it easier than normal variable speed makita. However, it's nosier but lighter of weight.
